The 1992 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose fifteen representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

New Jersey was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 42.95% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R-Texas) with 40.58%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third with 15.61% of the popular vote.[1] Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush.

At the time still considered a Republican-leaning state, Clinton very narrowly won New Jersey over President Bush. Clinton's win marked the beginning of a long-term shift in New Jersey's politics toward the Democratic Party. New Jersey has voted Democratic in every presidential election since.[2]
